Grasshoppers are raging the Las Vegas Valley of Nevada (USA) so dense that sometimes they appear on the radar screen of the meteorological station, and it is expected that the grasshopper problem will last for several weeks.

Nevada faces a low potential of California’s 7.1 magnitude earthquake on Friday triggering a seismic event along one of its many fault lines, according to an earthquake expert.

Nevada is no stranger to earthquakes.

We might need to rethink our understanding of water, both on Earth and other planets. New experiments with water ice at high pressures has revealed unexpected behaviour, which could upend our assumptions about the makeup of icy exoplanets.

An earthquake in California's Searles Valley, 150 miles from Las Vegas, sent the Vegas valley into a series of shakes and rumbles Thursday morning.

Bottled water may be considered a luxury item, but it's also a life-saving tool, depending on where you live.

Las Vegas has the second-hardest water in the nation when it comes to major metropolitan areas, according to Homewater 101.

The star around which astronomers got their first-ever sighting of a fledgling planet has been shown to have another world and possibly even a giant moon-forming disc.

Astronomers have spent decades, if not centuries, hoping to see embryonic planets. As of a year ago, the closest they had come was the discovery of gaps, thought to be caused by budding planets, in the spinning disks of gas and dust that surround young stars. But they weren’t sure how to interpret these indirect clues.
